IF it goes wrong I want to revert to how the file was before I started that process; not to where an autosave had maybe kicked in part way though, maybe after I'd messed up already but had not yet realised it.

That's exactly what I would fear the most (if an autosave feature were the default behavior). I often take a lot of chances knowing that I can always close without saving if I later discovered that a Find & Replace didn't go quite the way I anticipated. I value the ability to
abandon unsaved changes higher than I would value autosaves every X minutes. Saving at the "wrong" time can be just as disastrous as losing work when a program crashes.
